  • Tottenham face Juventus in the second-leg of their mouthwatering last 16 Champions League clash at Wembley on Wednesday night.

    Here, we look at seven key stats before the two teams lock horns in the English capital.

    1) Juventus haven’t lost a competitive match since a 3-2 defeat to Sampdoria back in November. Since then, Massimiliano Allegri’s side have won 17 of 20 competitive matches and boast the experience in Europe to edge past Tottenham.

    2) Spurs have won their last seven matches at Wembley – conceding just the once in that run – and have the pace in attack to secure a place in the quarter-final. They conceded just once in December’s 3-1 win over Real Madrid.

    3) Tottenham are undefeated in their last eight Champions League matches, while Juventus are undefeated in their last six games. The Bianconeri’s sole defeat came against Barcelona in the first group match back in September.

    4) Spurs have scored at least two goals in seven of their last eight European matches. They failed to score more than two goals just once in the 1-1 draw against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in October. Mauricio Pochettino’s side’s biggest results were two 3-0 wins over APOEL Nicosia in September and December.

    5) Juventus have conceded just three times in their last 20 games and are yet to concede since these two teams last met on February 13 – whereas Spurs have conceded 17 goals in 20 matches and just three times since the first leg in Turin.

    6) Spurs are unbeaten against Italian clubs at home with four wins and three draws. Their most recent win against an Italian opposition was in the quarter-final of the 2012/13 Europa League – when they beat Inter 3-0 with Gareth Bale and Jan Vertonghen among the goal scorers.

    7) Juventus have a poor record on English soil, managing just three wins from their 21 visits so far – including 12 defeats and six draws. Their most recent match in England was against Chelsea in the group stages of the 2012/13 Champions League – drawing 2-2 at Stamford Bridge.
